Answer: -5

Explanation: In this problem, we're given the function f(x) = -2x + 5 and we are asked to find f(5).

To find f(5) or the value of the function when x = 5, we simply substitute 5 in for x in our function.

So we have f(x) = -2(5) + 5 or -10 + 5 which equals -5.

So f(5) or the value of the function when x = 5 is -5.

What is the value of B??

Maurinko [17]

The answer is 3.75.

Since the length of 'b' is one-half that of 7.5 based on the diagram (we know this because the partial radii connecting the two lines, or chords, are the same length, meaning the two chords are equal);

7.5 ⇒ 3.75

Hope that helps.

Solve 15 ≥ -3x or 2/5x ≥ -2. A.) {x | x ≤ -5} B.) {x | x ≥ -5} C.) {all reals}

Lapatulllka [165]

$15 \geq -3x\quad|:(-3)\qquad\vee\qquad \dfrac{2}{5}x \geq -2\quad|\cdot5\\\\\\
-5 \leq x\qquad\vee\qquad 2x \geq -10\quad|:2\\\\\\
-5 \leq x\qquad\vee\qquad x \geq -5\\\\\\x\geq -5\qquad\implies\qquad\boxed{\{x | x \geq -5\}}$

Answer:

I need the values of either X or Y to solve this. I can solve for what X is though.

Step-by-step explanation:

A: X = -12

B: X =78

C: X = 12.13

I hope this helps you, but since both X and Y are unknown variables, you can't solve it, only simplify (which it already is.)

If y varies inversely as x and y = 8 when x = 9, find x when y = 12.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse variation is

xy = k where k is the constant of variation

8*9 = k

72 = k

xy = k

Let y = 12

x*12 = 72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 =72/12

x = 6
